2DPM207 The Art of the BookCOURSE DESCRIPTION
Learn the basics of book binding beginning with simple structures and building daily on your skills. Through demonstrations and hands on guided studio time, we’ll progress quickly from easy, magical books made from a single sheet of paper to more elaborate, hardcover, multi-signature books. No unusual or expensive equipment is required and everything covered in class can be easily continued at home. Participants in this workshop typically leave with at least 10 book structures and the inspiration and knowledge to create dozens more. We’ll produce books that can be used as journals, scrapbooks, photo albums or are a work of art themselves. This course is open to all. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
